The reception given by the High
School Alumni last Thursday evening
was O most gratifying success in every
particular. 1t was with many mis-.
givings that the affair was undertaken
BY the Alumni as they were very reas-
Onably apprehensive o: the result of
bringing nearly 200 strangers together
and expecting them to enjoy thelnsel-
YES socially. Suchs apprehensions
we're speedily set at rest, however, for
through the kind offices Of the hosts
..I ..ostesses of the evening and of
mutual friends it was but short time
until the company seemed to be made
up Of old acquaintance instead of
strangers. After an hour or two spent
thus in getting acquainted, the custom
airy refreshments were served. These
were followed in due season by q brief
address of welcome in behalf Of the
Alumni by A. c. Scott which was res
ponded to very neatly by Profs. Con-
way and Shively. Several familiar
songs followed in which all joined, the
concluding one being "America. ~ The
occasion was most certainly pleasant
one and the Alumni deserve congrat-
ulatiOns aud thanks for the very cred
liable manner in which they represent
Ell and illustrated the hOepitxble feeling
which lola entertains for the teachers
Of the county, who are now her guests.
Dispatches on the inside pages of this
issue will show how the Presidents
order to restore the rebel flags was re-
ceived in New York and other states.
The order has been the talk Of the
nation for q week. Here in our own
town we have heard nothing but con.
demnatiOn from democrats and repub.
licans alike. One old soldier said to
US while his usually quiet eyes fairly
blazed, II have rebel bullet in my
body: wonder if the President will
order that sent back to the man who
put it there!" Another said, II voted
to put Cleveland in the White House;
l would vote now to put him in his
gravel Ard we could fill our COL
umns with almost equally strong ex-
pressions. But these expressions do
not mean renewed bitterness toward
the south; they mean only righteous
indignation against the heartless, I'M
feeling trucking, servile demagogism
that rules in the White House.

observe with relief that in giving an
account of this accident We have re-
Trained from the usual homily about
this serving as lesson, ETC., etc. This
is the first time in newspaper ANIMALS
that temptation has been resisted and
we want credit for it. We expect Ray
to set up the cigars as soon as he gets
able to be around.l
DR.. Kuhn of ElDOrado, lectured be-
fore the Normal students at the Meth
odist church fast Tuesday evening on
the subject, "The Relation of Parents
and Citizens to the School, The
Doctor has q fine presence and good
voice and although speaking on so trite
and well worn u subject he succeeded
in thoroughly interesting his large
audience We go to press to early to
report Mrs. Monroe's lecture Of last
night. Her subject, Interesting
Places and Persons about Washing
ton" was very promising one and she
doubtless MADE it interesting.
We call attention to a local notice in
another column, of'The lola Nursery"
Such an institution has long been
needed here, and now that we have
one we hope it will be literally patron
ized. Mr.. Pies.er has the old country
habit of doing thoroughly what he
starts out to do, and when he advertises
that he has 4 nursery it may be de-
pended upon that he has q nursery.
His place is just few rods east OF town
and anyone wanting trees will find it
advantageous to call on him.
The many friends of Nee lure Bro
theirs will be interested to know that
the attachments in the sew eral cases
against them were all discharged by
Judge Stillwell last week the Judge
deciding that there were no grounds
for them. In one of thecase Mcclure
Brothers have filed an answer claim
ing heavy damages for injury done
their business for the wrongful issuing
of the punishment.
C. NJ. Epler, Capt McClaren and
Harry Stowe haye recently invented q
new railroad switch which they be-
lieve is much superior to the one now
in use. Capt. McClaren took it up to
Lawrence Monday and showed it to
Mr.. Barnes who was acknowledgement
with it and promised to give it trial.
We hope there will prove to be mill
ions in it.
